Breast Health Services

Mammograms save lives, and with digital mammography, they're faster and more accurate, too. Baptist South offers digital mammography, which means our Imaging Center is among the most advanced in Florida. Mammograms done here are reported electronically, offering big advantages. It's faster because there's no film to develop, no waiting to assure that the images are clear, and fewer repeats. It's more accurate because brightness, contrast and magnification can be adjusted to clarify suspicious areas. Images can be viewed by your health team online or on a CD. To schedule a digital mammogram, call 904.202.2222.

Maternity Services

Families in this previously underserved area have a place close to home to welcome their new arrivals. Baptist Medical Center South has a 12-bed obstetrical service that uses the Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum model that allows the entire birthing experience to occur in one spacious room. The hospital has two C-section suites and neonatologist coverage, as well as a holding nursery.

As part of its new patient care tower, under construction and expected to open in mid-2009, Baptist Medical Center South will include a level II Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU). A level II NICU can take care of babies born as young as 32 weeks with a higher acuity than is provided in a newborn nursery. Babies requiring ventilation, surgery or who have other, more critical needs would continue to be transferred to Wolfson Children's Hospital's level III NICU, as they are now.

• 18 treatment rooms, including two resuscitation rooms
